Numbing cream left on for microneedling & now skin itches with some products, shouldn't it be wiped off?

Marieme77
Hi I have had very sensitive skin since I had micro needling. I was worried at the time as the aesthetician applied a numbing cream but didn’t wipe this off before micro needling. I find my skin now itches with certain products that used to be fine. Shouldn’t the cream be wiped off after it’s had chance to work? Thanks
